2010 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · CY10 EHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on April 2, 2026, at 128,485 miles passed immediately following a failure due to a failed nearside stop lamp, a dangerous offside front tyre with exposed cords, and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. While these safety items were rectified quickly, the failure suggests that the vehicle was operated with known defects until the point of inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 112,301 miles and March 2025 at 122,925 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles, with another 5,500 miles recorded in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of degraded rubber components and fluid leaks despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and tyre alignment, as the history shows way issues with uneven tyre wear in both 2024 and 2026. This often indicates incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes that require professional adjustment. Furthermore, the failure of the windscreen washer pipe in 2025 highlights that minor non-safety components may be being neglected until they fail. Given the vehicle's age, a close examination of the chassis for structural corrosion and brake line integrity is essential to ensure no hidden degradation has occurred between the intervals captured by the way records.
